Goes straight to eject

When I plug in my ipod nano 6th gen, it now shows up in iTunes for about 2 seconds, then goes straight to the "safe to eject" screen.  I downloaded the iTunes update 11.01 just now, but the iPod reacts the same.  I tried a different cord to no avail.  I tried it in a different computer, but it does the same thing.  I tried resetting the ipod and restarting the computer. (twice).  
the ipod seems to work fine with the music  and books on there, but I can't sync and backup.
any ideas?

not as of yet, this is not the first iPod i've owned. And I have an old USB cable from my previous iPod and a firewire notebook adapter that i needed to plug into the port

  • Ipod says needs to be restored, but when plugged into pc, goes straight to disk mode

    so this is my friend's ipod classic [[used to be mine]] and it dropped and hit the ground from like a few inches, apparently. when it's not plugged in and i turn it on, it gives the ipod needs to be restored screen. I plug it into my computer and it goes straight into disk mode. i can 'eject' the 'disk' and then it shows up in itunes, and i go through the motions to restore the device. only, once it starts restoring, i get error 1439 and it boots out. If I reset the ipof [[menu and center buttons]] it just goes back to disk mode.... help! i really wanna fix it....
    i've tried: reseting ipod, plugging ipod into a different usb port, updating itunes....

    I think that impact has jarred your Hardisk.
    Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix you problem, but help in troubleshooting.

  • IPod goes straight to "Ok to disconnect"

    Soon as I plug my gen 2 iPod into my windows machine it goes straight to "Ok to disconnect".
    This hasn't always been the case, as it's only started doing it today.
    I was putting some new tracks onto it and it didn't get all the way though before it ejected by itself.
    I have installed the latest iTunes, but I can't use the latest updater as it ejects before the updater gets its chance to do it's thing.
    Windows doesn't see it as a hard drive either.
    The tracks I was transferring to the iPod don’t appear in the artists on the iPod, it plays all the existing tracks fine.
    Please help.

    I've had a chance to test on a Mac at work, and had a simular issue there, I'm just going to mark it as solved as i've come to believe that it's possibly an issue with my firewire cable as it's as old as the iPod and has travelled around with me alot of the time.
    Thanks Bill for your help, but I had restarted it and also had run the iPod’s inbuilt diagnostics and it passed all the tests I ran on the HDD, firewire port and the 1-5 test.
    Conclusion is the cable.

  • TS3276 I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone

    I can receive emails, but I cannot send emails. This just started happening. I have an iPhone and I can send emails from my phone fine. It's just not working on my Macbook. Every time I try to send an email it goes straight to my outbox. Can anyone help?

    Thank you for heading me in the right direction.  I reset my Mail account for Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net:(customer ID)@att.net (instead of smtp.att.yahoo.com, per Apple's online troubleshooting information).   I'm not sure what "(Offline)" means when it appears at the end of my Outgoing Mail Server (SMTP)??  In the Advanced box I clicked on "Use custom port:  465" and checked "Use Secure Sockets Layer."  Authentication:  Password; I have correct User Name and Password put in.  After doing all this, when I try to send emails again today, they go directly to the Outbox and sit there. 
    What's curious is that my first sent email this morning did go out using the Outgoing Mail Server, smtp.att.yahoo.com: (customer ID)@att.net(Offline) but subsequent emails I tried to send with this server were rejected with the message:  "Cannot send message using the server smtp.att.yahoo.com (etc.).  The SMTP server doesn't support TLS(SSL) on port 587.  Verify your account settings and try again."  That's when I tried resetting my Outgoing Mail Server to outbound.att.net (etc.), as mentioned above, and was unsuccessful in sending out any further emails.  I guess my next step is to contact my email service provider, AT&T, and see if they can help me.  Thanks, again, for taking the time to respond and for giving me your input!  Much appreciated!

  • My iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls. Everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voice mail. What's gone wrong?

    For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??

    Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
    If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4.

  • Incoming messages going straight to trash

    Suddenly my Incoming email messages are going straight to the trash. I start my computer. I have nothing in the inbox it is completely empty. If I click on sent, those messages remain and if I click on trash all my new messages and anything that was previously in my inbox is now there. I drag them to the inbox, but I do not want to have to keep doing this every morning. I am running OS 10.6.8 on an iMac. I have Mail 4.6 After reading some online stuff, I tried repairing permissions after safe reboot. I deleted User/Your UserName/Library/Mail/Enveope.index and rebooted, but did not work. Clicked on inbox and selected rebuild also did not work. I have no rules set up, but the apple default which I unchecked as well. Our email did switch from a POP to an IMAP, but this did not start happening until a few weeks after that change occured. First few weeks after the change no problems so I am not sure if it is related. The old POP account is still listed there, but it has not received anything since the day of the switch. I am going to delete that and see if that helps. Any other ideas?

    Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
    Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup),  it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
    Move this Folder to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
    Move this file to the Desktop...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
    Reboot.
    If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist
    /Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/MessageRules.plist.backup
    Note, in 10.5 & up /Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/ may or may not exist.

  • Iphone 6 8.1 goes straight to voicemail unless i call that person first

    iphone 6 8.1 goes straight to voicemail unless i call that person first

    Thanks for the quick reply. Do not disturb is not activated. It will receive call if I ring that person and they ring me back but soon after they can't get through again. I have now turned off voicemail completely and it seems to have fixed it for now. Hope this helps anyone with the same problem.

  • Just locked my Macbook Pro and now it goes straight to recovery.

    I just tried if the lock Mac works on the find my iPhone. My laptop froze and restarted. Now every time I boot, my laptop goes straight to recovery HD. I tried holding option when rebooting and when I chose macintosh HD, it still goes to recovery. It doesn't even ask me for the passcode. My windows bootcamp still works and my mac files are still ok. Apparently I can run my laptop properly but only through safe mode. What should I do?

  • Will not start on New Install. Opening goes straight to Crash reporter

    Will not start on New Install. Clicking on icon does not open a window and goes straight to Crash reporter. I cannot access a window to try to open in safe mode (unless there is another method than outlined in the help article).
    I run Windows XP and trying to install the latest 15.0.1 version. Before install, I did disable my Symantic virus protection. I have never used Firefox and would like to try it, but I'm having little success so far to even get started.
    Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas or need more information from me.

    hello Singyt, the bug report associated to this kind of crash indicates that it might be a malware related issue.
    your crash report also shows a file named "urixalog.dll", which doesn't turn up any search hits on google, which is also slightly suspicious. could you search for that file on your pc and upload it to a site like virustotal.com in order to analyze it.
    please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    edit: the bug report also suggests that a monitoring program named spector pro/360/... which essentially acts like malware, might cause the issue. in case you have that installed please remove it. otherwise [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_backdoor-ulrbot-c here] would be a removal guide for urixalog.dll

  • My MBP doesnt boot after update / Prohibition sign flashes twice and then goes straight to OX Utilities

    Hello all,
    I thought I would never be here, but I am.
    After updating iTunes and Memory Clean in App Store (nothing unusual) my MAC stopped booting properly.
    MBP / early 2011 / Mountain Lion
    It shows the Apple logo flashing twice the prohibiting sign (cancel circle), after that it goes straight to the OS X Utilities.
    Note:
    - It recognizes the HD and the Recovery partition.
    - Verify permission shows a lot of /Applications/iTunes issues, but I have repaired like 5 times and still showing issues.
    - Hardware test passed OK.
    - Repair disk, no issues.
    - Shift (safe mode) doesn't work (lot of flashing ? folder, apple logo, etc).
    - PRAM restarted, twice.
    I can't reinstall or launch the ML installer, when I go trough the install process which mandatory requires Internet connection and AppStore login, it states: This item is temporarily unavailable. Try again later.
    Please help me, I'm desperate this is my production machine and I'm travelling.
    What I'm missing?

    You cannot reinstall Mountain Lion from the App Store, but you can install Mavericks which is free and will run on your computer. Here's what you do:
    Install or Reinstall Mavericks or Mountain Lion from Scratch
    Be sure you backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive because the following procedure will remove everything from the hard drive.
    OS X Mavericks- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Mountain Lion- Erase and reinstall OS X
    OS X Lion- Erase and reinstall Mac OS X
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible
                because it is three times faster than wireless.

  • How can I save reader to a disk, it goes straight to download?

    I have a computer that is running Windows XP Home edition and is not connected to the internet.  I need to put a copy of the Acrobat Reader on it.  I have attempted several times on another computer to save the program to a disk, but there is only one option on the website - click download.  When I do it goes straight to downloading on the computer I'm working on, without giving me a choice of location.  What can I do to get this thing to disk so I can carry it to the other computer?

    Download it from
    http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/ instead.

  • Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project

    Can't create a new project in Logic pro . Goes straight to a midi file. Do I shut something down before trying to create a new project?

    When you open Logic, close the project that its automatically brought up (see CCT's answer above, which explains how you can change that behaviour, if you like - I usually want to listen to the last thing I was doing, but its your choice - and then File>New.
    So, yeah, you do have to close the currently loaded project first.
